Praise and thanksgiving and feasting mark the day in this favored land, set apart from the other days of the year for the special purpose to which it is devoted. Why should we as a nation and as individuals continue this observance of a festival that was com menced so many years ago that its exact origin is lost in a mist of conflicting stories? Throughout all ages man has from time to time humbly acknowledged his dependence upon Almighty God, when not irreligious; even the savage or the pagan, celebating a successful hunt or rejoicing in presence of a bountiful harvest, has voiced his thanks to a deity from whom he received and looked to for favors. Grace before meat, the daily custom of Christians, is but the continuation of the practice begun so long ago that no man can tell when it started. Thanksgiving day simply unites all hearts in a unified admission of indebtedness to tha^ God, td quote St. Chrysostrom, “Who hath given us grace with one accord to make our common supplication unto Thee.” On this day we express by words and deeds as well gratitude and appreciation of mer cies and favors enjoyed during a year of activity, and in such act confirm again our reliance on Divine Providence. Even a glance at the rest of the world must con vince Americans of their especial reasons for grati tude; no other people is so favored as we, whether or not we be especially set apart particularly to enjoy the blessings that are ours. That we may without conceit present ourselves to others will not be denied, for we have not wasted our time and op portunities, but have taken advantage of the material as well as the spiritual privileges that are before us, and through industry and diligent application have thrived, and yet with humble pride we do in all sin cerity ascribe our fortune to the bounty of an All Wise Creator, who stored this land with the wonder ful resources the people have developed and daily enjoy. We have peace and plenty at home; no war or pestilence has ravaged the land; harvests have been unusually bountiful; employment is such that few of our workers are idle, and all our surroundings and conditions of life are such as should incline the heart to earnestly confess the gratitude that becomes a true partaker in the good fortune that is so gen erally shared. Into those homes where sorrow and affliction come today, or where poverty and want replace the joy and comfort that is all but universal, some meas ure of the day’s spirit may penetrate. Generous hearts will do ail that is humanly possible to do to banish suffering and privation, when the conditions are known, and the helpless and unfortunate will be given a chance to share with all in the munificent blessings that are our common possession and from which none shoOld be shut out. So, today, let us not in our own rejoicing forget those who have cause to sorrow, but where we can give such aid as will mitigate if not remove the cause of their trouble. For ourselves, let the service of thanksgiving precede the festival, so that with Whit tier we join: "And let ttyese altars, wreathed with flowers And pile ! with fruits, awake again Thanksgiving for the golden hours. The early and the latter rain"’ ONE NIGHT OFF FOR MOTHER. Here comes Mrs. Grace Grill, prominent club woman of New York, to answer a judge who ruled that a married woman should not dance outside the home. Mrs. Grill stands for the principle of allow ing every married woman one night off each week, to be spent where she likes and how. She also ad vocates a school for husbands, where they can be taught how to treat a wife properly. Study the proposition a minute. Men long have arrogated to themselves the right to go out and come back as they see fit, and to submit to no question ing 83 to what they did while absent from the home nest. Most of them probably could explain without danger to themselves or anyone else, for very few men do the devilish stunts they are credited with doing. Yet they object to giving an account of where they were or what they had been doing. Reverse the situation, and what do we find? Very few husbands but will resent being called jail ers, but even fewer will consent to his wife doing as he does in the matter of going out. Men get ac customed to seeing the wife in her appropriate place at home, just as they get used to seeing the dining table, or the kitchen sink, and when one is missed, even for a moment, they get a little nervous and want to know why. Not that they lack confidence, or have no trust, but they just naturally want to ‘ know. Maybe if Mrs. Grill's thought were given prac tical application and more wives took advantage of an occasional evening off and no questions asked, the trust on which the home rests would he strength ened and some of the things that now wreck mar riages would disappear. Men like to think they are liberal; why should not their wives give them a chance to prove the. fact? Modern improvements arc reported to have pre vented an even worse disaster in the latest Illinois coal mine explosion. This is all right, hut what is most needed is some device to do away with explo sions all together. A Tennessee revivalist made pointed remarks to a woman in his congregation, and was soundly thrashed by the woman’s husband nftcr services. A moral lies in this simple tale. A stitch in time saves nine, and removing the leaves from the gutters before the snow flies will pre vent many flooded drains next spring. Will it be considered proper to remark that al though Doc Cook missed the north pole he will be safely on icc fo^thc next few years? A SPECTACLE TO CONTEMPLATE. Doubtless you have read the reports from Sew ard outlining the proceedings in the trial of the three Vajgrts, father, mother and daughter, charged with killing Jerry Lana. Lana betrayed the 15-year-old daughter of the Vajgrts, and parents and daughter took vengeance into their own hands. Dull, bowed down by unremitting toil, the parents are on trial for their lives. The victim of the slain Lana sits by their side. But it is not these three that demand the at tention of the people of today. There are four others of the family, the little 4-year-old girl who nestles in her weary mother’s arms and watches with wide-eyed interest the strange scenes going on about her, and three children who remain at home, trudging off to school each morning. What about them? What about little Frank, the oldest of the three at home, who is trying to keep the home fires burning and each morning trudging off to school with his two little sisters under his protection? Is not society in some part to blame for the awful situ ation those ignorant and hard-working parents are in today? Does society not owe something more than it is paying to Frank and his two little sisters? What have native-born Americans been doing to acquaint Adolph Vajgrt, foreigner by birth and toil er in this country, with his rights and duties as a citizen? How many have shown an interest further than to call him a “bohunk” or growl about the “foreigners taking the country?” How many Ameri can-born mothers have taken an interest in this peasant-born woman who now faces trial for having killed the betrayer of her first-born; taken enough interest in her to explain to her our American ways, our American opportunities and our American standards? i>0[ aione are tne v ajgrts, lather, mother and daughter, on trial. Society is on trial at the same time and place; the society that is too intent upon selfish gain and selfish pleasures to take note of the trials and struggles of the peasant-born of Europe who have come to us in the hope of making a home in free America. Society owes much to that sturdy little boy and his smaller sisters, and society should be paying installments on that debt every day. As he gazes in bewilderment on the strange and unaccustomed scenes of an American court, too, is Adolph Vajgrt not warranted in his plea that he did not know; that he had no time from unremitting and ill-requited toil to study the laws and languages and the customs of the new country to which he came to escape oppression and compulsory military ser vice? And if Adolph Vajgrt did not know, who is to blame? The sins of those ignorant parents, if it shall be declared a sin, must not be visited upon thfcse inno cent children. That sin rests properly upon the shoulders of recalcitrant society, and society must not be allowed to shift it to the shoulders of Frank Vajgrt and his little sisters. It may be*true, as Senator King says, that the democratic party ia not so bankrupt of presidential timber that it has to £o outside of the party for a candidate, but isn’t it equally true that the importa tion of a little new timber might average up the democratic supply quite a little bit. A Spokane woman is swing for divorce on the ground that her husband has not spoken to her in 20 years. Due note should be made of the fact that it is the wife-, not a husband, who is asking the di vorce. Noting that a Chicagff min paid $400,000 in come tax,.the Cedar Rapids Republican offers to bet he manufactured Christmas neckties. Take it! He published Christmas illustrated mottoes. The late Baron Rothschild spent enormous sums of money to make the world's largest collection of fleas. Others of us have spent anxious moments trying to locate just one. Iowa claims the champion eornhusker of the world, just because he won from an Illinois man. Several Nebraskans may have something to say about the matter. Senator Magnus Johnson says he Is going to milk a cow while in Washington. This will be a welcome change from the senatorial habit of milking the treasury. And it may be, too, that the stamp of “Broad way success” is not always sufficient to put a show over in a community that knows a thing or two worth while. - 1 1 * 1 - ■ - A $20 a week girl should get along without a fur coat, says a Brooklyn uplift bunch. Most of them do, or they get along without eating a part of the time. The city council having taken its parting wallop at Senator Howell, the muddy water issue may be regarded as history. The new fourth party recently organized in Omaha will doubtless try to sing bass in the political quartet. Henry Ford has just bought an oxcart 100 years old. Here is a chance for at least one more story. Army and Navy battled to a scoreless tie. Prov ing again, as in 1018, that both are unbeatable. If ever a man is entitled to exceed the speed limit, it will be on his honeymoon. Homespun Verse —By Omaha's Own Poet— lioltort Worthington Dario THANKSGIVING.

A Call for Norris. University Place. Neb.—T<> the Edi tor of The Omaha Bee: I)o the voters of Nebraska appreciate the situation involved in the possible loss to the I'nited Htates senate of our senior senator. Hon. G. W. Ndrris? A loss not only to our state, hut all the "mid western" states, and also the agricul tural interests of the entire country. For by fitness and senority he has won a chairmanship ot one of the most important senate committees, which, if lost by his retirement from the senate would be a staggering blow to that already much distressed and depressed industry. If we appreciate his splendid serv ice so faithfully rendered, let us tell him so. and ask If he cannot consent to continue In the "seat of power” to which he has so worthily attained. N. M. SOMMERVILLE. A False Charge. Omaha—To the Editor of The Oma ha lice: The National Farmers’ union favored Omaha with their national convention. They passed resolutions on various subjects. The Omaha World-Herald gave publicity to these resolutions, including their resolution on finance. T he Omaha Bee and Oma ha Daily News suppressed the farm ers' resolution on the financial ques tion. The farmers are asking one another why their financial resolu tion was suppressed, while praising their resolution on the tariff question. The readers of The Omaha Bee and Omaha Daily News are not entitled to know what the farmers in conven tion had to say. T. 8. FENLON. Editor's Note: The Omaha Bee Is the only newspaper In Omaha or else where that published the resolutions of the Farmers’ union in their entire ty. On page one of The Omaha N.urning Bee of November 23, the headline on the formers meeting called attention not only to the tariff resolution, hut also to the resolutions for changes In the credit system and for public ownership of railroads. Ways to Help the Farmer. McCook. Neb.—To the Editor of The Omaha Bee: The merchant and the manufacturer will, perhaps, want to know why. If the farmer in not In acute straits, he is not in the market for the usual volume of manufac tured products. Every man hates to admit his errors and his shortcomings and the farmer is as reluctant as any other to admit that he has been dis sipating. But that Is Just exactly what he did during the war, and his present disinclination to buy freely is due to the fact that he has disposed of most of his surplus and must wait until he aceunvulates more before he can spend freely. When the farmer saw land values rising by 10 and 20-do!!ar jumps, when he saw pure bred cattle selling for thousands of dollars a head and hogs for hundreds, he lost his head and plunged into the game. The farmers who sold while everything was on the way up have retired on their win nings, but those who bought and held have depreciated property on their hands. If it Is true that the farmers as a class are in hard circumstances the nno outstanding reason for their condition is their failure to resist the temptation to speculate and to spend on luxuries the unusual profits of the war years. However, there is one class among farmers which must bo made an ex ception to these statements. A great many young men from the country en listed or were drafted into the army and navy and served during the war. thereby missing all of the opportunl ties for profit which came with the period of high prices. Many of these men were forced to sell their stand ing crops and their equipment at a sacrifice when leaving only to find on their return that values had risen enormously and that more capital 1* required to start up a farm now than wa< necessary before the war. This one class of farmers has suffered loss for which it is in no way to blame. A great many writers and speakers on political and economic affairs, it. appears, have failed to observe the progress of enlightenment which has come to the rural districts with the improvement of the mail service, the wider circulation of the magazines and lice city dailies and the broadened so rial life1 made possible by the automo bile and still look upon the farmer as he was in the old days of the gran ger movement, the populist party and free silver. The truth of the matter is that the average farmer today Is just about as well educated as the average city man, and he is probably a good deal better read on current topics. It Is only men who do not distin guish between the farmer of the 80s and the farmer of today who propoee for his benefit (or more likely to at tract his vote) such ugsound measures as price fixing, government purchase of surplus or export bonuses. The farmer knows that government price .manipulation Is not only poor eco nomics but very poor business for hlrn. He appreciates just what the government purchase of wheat or of my other commodity In unlimited quantities and at. a fixed price would do to the country as a while. He would like to ace reduced railroad rales only if and when such reduc tion can be made without interfer Ing with the quality of the service and with the necessary extension and im provement of the lines. The farmer does not expect nor does he peed very much assistance from lhe outside in the solution of present or future problems, lie may occas ion.illy go to the polls and show his displeasure with the way the govern ment Is being conducted by electing a governor, or a senator, or a repre sentative of the party opposed to pres ent Incumbents, or may even euppoit Daily Prayer_ Hftlng then made free from «ln. ye be .Hill. the art vent ■ of rtf hteoueneee ft run.

But his methods have not always been fair. once lie hitched up a team and started for town. A-smllin' at what he'd do. When lie meets a neighbor, named Si Brown, Who's pretty keen at tradin’ too, Frick reins up and says, "Good morn in', Si, Have you got anything yog'll swap?" Si sized up his team with practiced eye And gave his terbaccer a flop. 4 "Well, now," says Si, "how old do they be? They sure ain’t much fer looks; And that off horse is sprung in the knee." You see, Si's on to the crooks. Says Si, "Here's jest what I ran do, Fer they don’t size up jest nifty. I'll give this team and the harness, too, Fer your team and even fifty." Frick hops out, looks at Si's bay and brown, And says, "I’ll take yer bet;" They make the change—Frick went on to town— That’s one trade he'll never forget. Why, that ornery brown, you couldn’t make him go. He was right down worthless for sure, And that old bay had been eatin’ loco. For which there never was any cure. Bill stayed in town until quite late Before he hitched up his bay and brown, For well he knew what'd be his fate If his neighbors saw him cornin' from town. He finally reached home, by drlvin’ slow. And slipped the old team in the lot, For he did not want the boys to know What a sure enough stinging he'd got. Weil, Si took the team he’d traded with FVick, And sold them for a cool three hun dred; Yes, sir, boys,. It made Bill sick To see how he'd gone and blundered. Now Frick sils up most every riight, Plannin’ what he'll do to Brown: He thinks: Jest wait, I'll trim him right Whenever the chance comes around. Well, boys, I'm not advisin’, no slr ee, But Just a word or two to the wise: When you go tradin’ houses, where'r they be. Look 'em over close with both yer eyes. —Walt Nye, Ogallala, Neb. a mild radical, hut such movements are only a call for constructive action to replace inertia and have no radical motive whatever. The farmer may tie temporarily misled Just as may any other class, but all of his tenden cies and traditions are conservative, with a progressive turn, and there Is no danger of his becoming politically unruly. One line of assistance which farm ers in all branches of the trade would appreciate is in connection with the Improvement of farm labor conditions. The farms, and particularly the grain farms, require additional labor at cer tain times of the year. In recent years the supply of seasonal l abor has been uncertain, generally Inefficient and high priced. Itinerant labor lie comes less depenalable and more ex pensive each year, and if some plan could he perfected by whlch'the local towns could release labor to the farm ers. during harvest and other rush periods such assistance would be val uable. The farmer could also use to ad vantage more service than he is at present getting from the manufactur ers of farm machinery. Every farmer would like to -Improve the efficiency of his methods by the adoption of the ,latest labor saving devices, but he Is restrained to a great extent by lack of expert advice and assistance. If th-' manufacturers of tractors and of farm machinery of the more compli cated kinds would send more experi enced demonstrators and fewer sales men into the country their business would Improve and the farmer would receive greater benefit from the latest developments in efficient equipment. The value of the tractors which stand idle In fence corners totals an ap palling amount, and the fault lies with the manufacturers. Many of these macb.nes could be put to profitable use under proper direction. EARNEST CORDEAL. Appreciate I>ajr Sermon.

From ih« N'vu York II- ruld. Viis.-ar college sends more of Its graduates to the altar than any other large college for women. Of Its alum nap <;o per cent marry and in the last few years the interval between gradu ation and marriage has been decreas ing. Each year shows an increase in the proportion of married women to the whole body of Vassar alumnae. When the complete statistics arc presented it will probably he foutld that the graduates of other women's colleges are following the same trend toward matrimony. As higher edu i ation for women becomes more com mon man seems less inclined to fear the prospect of au educated wife. Familiarity, in this case, breeds re spect'. Graduates of women's colleges have proved their ability In the home as well in the arts and sciences. There is still, however, a gap be tween the matrimonial records of women collegians and that of the great American sisterhood of which they form a part. While 00 per cent of marriages is high for college women, it would be low for American women generally. In 1920 more than, CO per cent of women of 15 or above' In the United States were married, while 11.1 per cent were widowed. | and eight-tenths of one per cent were divorcees. Close to three-quarters of! the entire female population of eligi ble age were or had been married. | Vassar. coincidentally with publish-' Ing its marriage statistics, announced a $400,000 gift to fie used for the es tablishment of a school for alumnae who wish to return to the college and study "on their own." There may he more than coincidence in these simultaneous announcements. President Henry Noble MaeCracken suggests that the Ferry endowment will provide a refuge for weary wives worn fretful by domestic and social I otiligations. Perhaps Vassar college which seems to cherish the laudable ambition of excelling in matrimony, may move the faster in that direc tion because it offers its alumnae the opportunity of occasional escape from the monotony of double harness. Listening to Fools. From the Nebraska City Press America is listening too much to fools. Most of the advice which is being so freelv scattered about these days comes from the mouths of rattle heads and ne'er-do-wells. By a strange freak of nature, a condition which existed ever since Noah, the amateur carpenter, tried to build a boat while the idle villager* stood by and offered advice and pre dicted disaster, fools have offered fiSee advice and fools who failed in their own enterprises have sought to influ ence the world to do aa they thought and did. America needs some expert opinion these days Especially is this true with respe-t to our national duty. Men who eng ige in business, private ly, have recourse to -the counsel of experts in law and economics, wisely heeding advice which is founded soundly and deep. Men who are ill are able to call to their bedsides ex pert* in medicine and surgery who know and can impart knowledge.
